I'm Betty

Cat Sitting in Chicago, IL

I love animals and they seem to know it. I have experience with all ages from kittens to seniors. I currently take care of people so spending time with cats is a great way to enjoy my off-hours. I live and work on the Northwest side of Chicago and am familiar with the neighborhoods in the area including Jefferson Park, Portage Park, Old Irving Park, Albany Park, Norwood Park, Edison Park, and several others...

I worked in the pet department of a retail store as my first job and have been taking care of pets and pet sitting ever since. My extended family has had just about every kind of pet there is and I have enjoyed interacting with all of them.

I love cats and I love interacting with them and enjoy getting to know their personalities. I look forward to meeting and caring for your feline family members.

Betty did great with our four cats! One of them also needs nightly medication and there were no issues there either.

Betty took great care of Mimi and was very nice about me having a typo in my address. We got photos every day even though Mimi is very shy.

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.

If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.

Chicago cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $30.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can feel comfortable with your sitter before you leave.

Cats are territorial animals and don't do well in new environments. The presence of other cats, dogs, and even birds in kennels or animal hotels cause an immense amount of stress. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a Meet & Greet!
